Hi,I would like to redirect to the right community based on the browser locale. If my browser is set to English locale, Apache should automatically redirect to for example mysite.com/en. Is that possible and how would the RewriteCond/RewriteRule look like?
Rule # 1 : the server never knows anything for sure about the client.Rule # 2 : the server does not know the browser locale, because that's a setting that the user can change locally, and it does not tell the server about it.
This being said, about the only way I can imagine where you could "kind of" guess the browser locale, are the "Accept-Language" and "Accept-Charset" HTTP headers that the browser *might* send with his requests. You can check those with SetEnvIf (mod_setenvif) or with RewriteCond (mod_rewrite), and use them to do something. If you are into perl, you could also write a mod_perl add-on access-control module that would pretty much allow you to do whatever you want.
To see which such headers are being exchanged, an easy way is with the Firefox add-on "LiveHttpHeaders", which is a useful add-on in many circumstances anyway. Otherwise, there must exist some Apache add-on module that dumps the request headers somewhere.
There is also something in Apache called "content negociation", which you might want to look up in the on-line documentation. I don't really know if it is applicable in this case, but it might in any case give you some ideas of how to do this cleanly.
